This property has so much potential if the owner(s) would just put some money into it. Refurbish and paint the rooms, fix the air and the plumbing, invest in some furniture. This building has so much history it should be exploited. And finish the restaurant, it would be a gold mine.

No sleep

NOT RECOMMENDED. The local bell tower next to the inn goes off every hour all night long. Do not expect to sleep. It is also not staffed and the building looks abandoned. The rooms are on the 3rd floor. No check in instructions were sent. I had to call the inn and got someone to tell me where to find the lock box. Very creepy for a solo traveler. No info inside the room & it seemed as no one else was checked in. At least there was heat & a comfy bed. Definitely not worth the price.

Beautiful historic village. Interesting historic house. Misleading description as the Grille & Tap section was not only closed but we faced the demolition, piled about, through the glass door to the Grille, as we entered the Inn. The room was clean, bedding, towels but there was no soap, and no response to the messages to the property owners via Expedia. There was a closet but no hangers, there was no chair. What was very physically excrutiating, was that the heat in the room was up to 84 degrees and the thermostat was ineffective. There was no person on the premisis that we were made aware of, that represented the Inn. Basically there was no service, no changing of bedding or towels etc on a daily basis. I have experienced more service and positive attention from some shady last-chance motels. Shame, since the town, the structure itself has such a place in antiquity. Seems unfair to advertise and charge if the owners were not attending to the guests and property, and upfront about the true condition of the Inn. Lovely town, great historic site so I hope that the current conditions change, but unfortunately I was a classic victim of false advertising and very uncomfortable living conditions. I suggest conditions are verified before you book, but after this dismal experience, Saturday March 22-24, 2025, I cannot recommend Hunters Grille and Tap at The Grafton Inn

Our stay was perfect. This is an old inn with an old feel. Some things arent brand new, but every thing was well cared for, and very clean. Check in/out was easy. The place was peaceful and very comfortable. I would stay again.

Cute place to stay

The room was clean and quaint. It was really hot, but i just slept with the windows open and vents closed. My only issue which has nothing to do with the Inn itself..is the church bells that go off to mark the hour are loud. Obviously, this is not the inns issue.

The manager was very nice and immediately responded to our questions and calls. When we arrived, the temperature in the room was 56 degrees. The last night we were there, the room contained a lot of cigarette smoke, that seemed to come from the heat duct. we left the door open and turned off the heat to help clear the air. The storm windows were partly open, so that when it was cold/windy, there was a draft in the room from the windows. We liked the location and the room itself, and appreciated having small refrig. which was not expected. Hopefully when the remodeling downstairs is complete, more attention can be paid to the sleeping rooms. We hope to stay here again when we visit my daughter.

Check in was very easy. The location is great! Never saw anyone the entire time there. The only minor suggestion is a tv channel guide. Also, having the front door unlocked all night made me a little nervous.

The hotel staff were nice and very polite the only upset I had was no bar and grill to eat at as they were closed for renovations and we did not know until we arrived. other than that I would definitely go back again .
